Only alarming if you don’t understand people. Humans don’t think, they imitate. To fit in, to have status in social groups. Those groups then battle each other for supremacy. It’s what humans did with social media, and what they will try to do with AI as well. Most humans do ‘cognitive surrender’ at birth, they have a lifetime of minimal thought. Humans were already doing what everybody else told them to do, through social media, most of which was totally wrong. The difference with AI is that it will much more often be right than wrong, and that it’s not engaged in status games.
